Mr. Speaker, pollution from the oil sands tailings ponds is a serious issue, and we acknowledge and take seriously the concerns raised by nearby indigenous communities in the region. We are currently supporting a study of health impacts on nearby communities, and there is a Crown-indigenous working group working on water release standards. We are committed to protecting Canada's environment and the health of communities and, of course, the indigenous communities nearby.
